A wide range of support categories are also featured: BossGP, XGT 4, Supersport GT Series, and Lotus Cup Italy.

While the morning track activity was limited due to bad weather, the afternoon saw a continuous succession of qualifying sessions and races.

Mexican driver Ernesto Rivera (Campos Racing – Tatuus T318) claimed victory in the first Eurocup-3 race, which ended under a Safety Car. The Italians: Rinicella finished on the podium behind his teammate Andres Cardenas (MP Motorsport), while Mattia Colnaghi (MP Motorsport) came in sixth.  In Supersport GT Race 1, Denny Santi (Lamborghini Super Trofeo EVO2 – DL Racing) took the win. Alessandro Bollini triumphed in the Legend Cars, while in BossGP, the top step of the podium was taken by Latvian driver Haralds Slegelmlhs. The final checkered flag of the day celebrated the victory of Lorenzo Tocci and Slovenian Mark Kastelic in XGT4 Italy, driving the Mercedes AMG GT4 for Lema Racing.
